Watch the video on the next slide and get ready to find your way on "The Tube!"

Your turn... You're in London and the unthinkable happens: You lose your group!

In groups of 2, find a detailed map online of the Underground, 

and for the next three scenarios, suggest the best Underground routes.

Be prepared to share your findings with the class.

Scenario 1: You're next to the Chelsea stadium. Go to the nearest Tube station and get back to the hostel: YHA Earl's Court.

Scenario 2: Right under Big Ben, you decide to book a flight back to mommy, which leaves from Heathrow Airport terminal 2. How do you get there?

Scenario 3: You thought you needed to go to tube station Hatch End for an Easter egg hunt. Unfortunately, there's nothing there. Make your way to your friends who are at London Bridge but be aware: due to construction, the Yellow, Red, Brown and Dark and Light Blue lines don't run today.

Answer the following questions for all 3 scenarios. You can find a map here.

• Which line(s) do you take? In which direction do you need to take these lines?
• Where do you start? Where do you end up? 
• Are there any transfers, and if so, at which station(s)?
